For the Record

@ The anti ABMers were, among other things, voting to strike down the President’s traditional authority as commander-in-chief. Every one of the leading Democratic Presidential contenders, points out columnist Wm. S. White, did so. Count ’em: Edward Kennedy, Edmund Muskie, George McGovern, Fred Harris. (Only reason HHH didn’t is that he’s no longer in the Senate.)

On GOP side the antis included old-time liberals Aiken (Vt.), Case (N.J.), Cooper (Ky.), Javits (N.Y.) and newcomers to the Senate Brooke (Mass.), Cook (Ky.), Goodell (N.Y.), Hatfield (Ore.), Mathias (Md.), Pearson (Kan.), Perey (Ill), Saxbe (Ohio), Schweiker (Pa.).
